Hey tiya


First of all, congratulations for your call. Its a big achievement and i hope you know it too.
So you seem to be a padhaaku type gal, eh?!! Usually MSc and Economics fit well only with people who dont mind putting in 10-12 hours of studies everyday.(ok. ok. did not mean to scare you!!)

Ok, Facts first.

• IGIDR, one of the premier instis of Mumbai for research studies,boasts of international level infrastucture
• Great faculty
• Great corporate presence ( since its an RBI thing, Fin institutions recruit a lot of people
• Location advantage (Mumbai, the hub of money and finance)
• Opportunity to study with intelligent, serious and like minded individuals. So its round-the-clock learning. ( good or bad, you decide)

You wud have got most of this stuff from the website but, what the hell, I needed to jhaadofy some gyaan, right?!!!!

So whats ur background? Bachelors in Eco?

Anyway, i hope you enjoyed reading this reply. Help hua ki nahin, vo to pata nahin as you were specifically looking for people IN IGIDR. I think it will take me at least 5 years to get an IGIDR call and another 5 to convert it!!!!

Anyway, what kind of a username is that? what does it mean?

[Tiya]

wow!! i wasnt expecting a single reply, so that was nice!!!

thank u so much for the info.....so i guess i beter brush up stats...n th rest...
k, i have a few more q's: -

• what are the placements like, at igidr?
• does the MSc prog lay stress on any specific fields?
• someone told me the syllabus there is 'outdated' (didnt know wot to make of tht).....
• in the interview, do they ask a lot of current affairs?!!! and the other questions, are they text-bookish or application oriented?

and well, am not all that padhaku types!! hardly actually...!!at the moment, all i',m hoping for is a decent final year result, bt with delhi univ u just cant predict anything!

thanks again people!

Tiya,
This is Kishore from Hyderabad. I also got selected for the interview on 6th July. I really need assistance of people here. I am an engineer by qualification.

By the way IGIDR is an exceptional institution with extraordinary placements. I have recently heard that a graduate of IGIDR got selected for 8L worth placement.

There is no need to worry as if you are looking for placements.

My mail id is [--]

Best of luck for the interview. I wish we will be classmates.

The current level of human evolution permits many a women to see only survivors as winners. And by the way, it's loser.
